Coherence and anticoherence resonance in high-concentration erbium-doped fiber laser

Abstract: We report an experimental study of low-frequency (~10 kHz) self-pulsing of the output intensity in a highconcentration erbium-doped fiber laser. We suggest that the fast intensity fluctuations caused by multimode and polarization instabilities play the role of an external noise source, leading to low-frequency auto-oscillations through a coherence resonance scenario. © 2010 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.3510, 060.2410, 140.3500, 140.1540 Output intensity self-pulsing in high-concentration erbium-… Show more

“…As follows from Figs. 2-5, phase difference dynamics indicate the presence of coherent coupling between cross-polarized SOPs through the gain sharing and pump and in-cavity polarization controllers similar to the polarization dynamics of single-and multi-mode lasers without a saturable absorber [5][6][7][8][9][10]. It is well known from the theory of nonlinear coupled oscillators that weak coupling leads to a complex behavior, and increasing the coupling leads to stabilization of the behavior, i.e.…”

“…In such systems two laser modes with the same longitudinal and transverse spatial patterns and different polarization states, frequencies, and amplitudes interact through the gain sharing, phase-and amplitude selective nonlinear processes (Kerr nonlinearity) and in-cavity components (polarizers, polarization controllers etc.). As a result of the interaction, different polarization patterns have been found including polarization chaos [5][6][7][8][9][10]. In fiber lasers, due to long cavity length and wide gain bandwidth, typically, a large number of modes are generated.…”

“…Interestingly, it also leads to an local maximum of the C v at a low noise level (D ≈ 0.02 − 0.03). Such a maximum indicates anti-coherence resonance (ACR) [57] or incoherence resonance [3] and has been observed in models as a consequence of either damped subthreshold oscillations [57], or due to a finite refractory period [47]; for an experimental verification, in a laser system, see [58].…”

“…In contrast to stochastic resonance (see [37] for a review) the effect occurs without periodic forcing of the system. Coherence resonance is already an intensively studied effect and was shown theoretically in quantum well (QW) lasers with saturable absorber [28], in QD lasers under optical injection [38], in lasers subject to long optical feedback [32,39], in laser systems with polarization instabilities [40,41], in semiconductor superlattices [42], as well as in non-excitable systems below a subcritical Hopf-bifurcation [43][44][45].…”
